Can a pharmacy refuse to sell a drug? Ozempic for reimbursement?

Ozempic is available on the market in packaging that is reimbursed and costs exactly the same in every pharmacy as in parallel imported packaging, which is not refundable and whose price is determined individually by each pharmacy. The pharmacy where you were most likely only had the non-reimbursed one in stock and unfortunately was not able to give it to you for a discount.

Ozempic in reimbursable packaging is currently a shortage drug, which is in short supply in pharmacies due to, m.in other things, high demand from patients. In response to this great interest, a non-reimbursed parallel imported drug Ozempic has appeared in pharmacies. However, there is no discount on this drug, it can only be purchased at full cost. Its prices in pharmacies integrated with the Gdziepolek.pl portal currently start from PLN 878.60.
